Default Replacing Clutch Master and Slave Cylinders

Do I need a flare wrench to get the fluid lines off. And is there anything else special that I would need?

Oh if I do need a flare wrench can you please give me the size that it needs to be (?mm)

I have a 1994 Accord EX btw.

I would use a flare wrench, open ends will strip the tube fitting.
I think the size will be 10mm, maybe 12mm. If your buying the tool get a 10-12mm combo flare wrench, this will work on most hondas for everything tubing wise. The bleed screw is a 8mm I believe. Other than that, it's pretty straight forward.

What were the symptoms that you need to replace the master and slave? I have a 94 Accord EX and the pedal goes all the way to the floor and stays there. I flushed and bleed the system but it comesback in a week or so. IS that master or slave cylinder issue?

Was it hard to change the master cylinder? Slave looks easy.

It's leaking somewhere, either internally or externally. You need to find out where. If you can't just replace both of them.

Check behind the clutch pedal inside the car the master usually leaks there.

changing both cylinders are really easy. I bought them both from my local shop (kragen), and installed it. I push the clutch and it droped all the way down to the ground. I saw a leak on my slave cylinder. But i changed the master cylinder just cause i don't want it to give me problems later. I suggest you do that. You don't need any special tools, just your wrenches and rachets (maybe some small hands).
